CommentThis is a tricky one for classifying senses. It's easy to see which are certainly (2), and also to see those that 'could well be (2)'. The problem is finding one that is certainly (1).

Suggestions, and/or provision of a new or existing sentence that uses 家(うち) with sense (1), welcome.

Headword 1重々しい

Reading 1おもおもしい
Part-of-speechadj-i

English 4solemn
Reference研究社新和英大辞典:
grave; serious; solemn; dignified; grand; grandiose; imposing; majestic; stately.
英辞郎 on the Web:
dignified; grave; lumpish; ponderous
CommentI can't find a reference for "frequently; sincerely; exceedingly" and at the very least it seems misleading to put it as the first part of the definition. (Those aren't adjectives anyway!) So I'd suggest that part be removed, and "solemn" be added.

Editorial Comment That "UK" is technically incorrect, as both spellings are used in the UK, and securitisation is used outside the UK too. Attempting to divide English spelling into two precise camps is about as much use as Caesar's dividing Gaul into three.
